In the early hours of Saturday, four inmates managed to escape from the Civil Police station in Anapu, located in the southwestern region of Pará, Brazil. According to local authorities, the escape was facilitated by the prisoners who sawed through the bars of their cell and exited through a window, traversing the courtyard of the police station to achieve their freedom. This incident highlights security breaches that can occur within correctional facilities, raising concerns about the management of police facilities in the region.

Subsequent to the escape, both the Civil Police and the Military Police have initiated search operations in the surrounding area to locate the fugitives. Reports indicate that three of the escaped inmates faced charges related to drug trafficking and conspiracy, while the fourth was incarcerated for domestic violence. The Civil Police's response includes setting up an inquiry to investigate the circumstances surrounding the escape, indicating a need to understand and address the failures that allowed this incident to occur.

Authorities have urged the public to share any information that could assist in locating the escaped prisoners, emphasizing that anonymous tips can be made through a dedicated hotline. The details of this case underscore the ongoing challenges faced by law enforcement in maintaining security within correctional systems, as well as the impact of such events on community safety and public confidence in local policing.
